Prima Donna Goodies & a Beauty Giveaway!

So, a few weeks ago, I totally lucked out and won a contest. The prize was a $25 gift card to Prima Donna (a shop I hadn’t previously heard of) and one of their necklaces! Score!

Let me tell you – choosing what to buy with my gift card was hard. Prima Donna has tonnnnnnns of cute stuff and it’s so affordable. Gah! I wish I had learned about them sooner, but I digress. Eventually I narrowed it down to two items and decidedwhat the hell, I’ll get them both!

So allow me to ramble on for just a moment about how much I love my new goodies and then I’ll introduce our very first giveaway!

Kazam Studded Envelope Clutch – Black
Ho.ly. Shit. I love this bag. It’s gorgeous! It’s made of beautiful faux-leather, and the studs simultaneously dress it up and make it edgy. That’s really all I’m looking for in a clutch bag! It also comes with a nice, thin gold chain strap. I think I’ll buy a thin black leather strap to make it a bit more casual for daytime, but I can’t get enough of this bag right now! It also comes in Natural and Seafoam. Annnnnd it’s only $32.99!

Trickle Triangle Midi Ring – Gold
There isn’t a ton to say about this, I just really love it. It’s one size (and I’m not sure what size that is) but it fits both my index or ring fingers. The triangle is the perfect size for me and I love the etched surface. The ring is plated metal and comes in gold or silver. Oh, and did I mention it’s only $7.99? Can’t beat that.

Now let’s get to the fun part…

Thrifting & Bitching’s very first giveaway!

I really wanted to tell everyone about this awesome shop, and since it’s October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month!), I decided to share their beautiful pink Damita statement necklace with one of our readers, along with some other fun goodies.

First off, that meme has my in hysterics! Second, thanks for the chance to win such delicious things…I am new to the makeup world (even though I am 27!) and there are so many products to try out it’s almost overwhelming. But I want to try them all!! I’m really into light eye makeup and a real vibrant lip color.

Thanks, Jax! If you haven’t already, you should try a subscription to Ipsy or Birchbox. They’re both $10/month and it’s a great way to try out a bunch of new products. 🙂 You can find some reviews here if you want a closer look: http://thriftingandbitching.com/?s=review&submit=Search

I never win anything. This basket would help with my self esteem in a huge way. I had my left leg amputated in 2012. Finally got home after 5 months in the hospital. Then I found out I have cancer. Its been hard battling for my life. But I come from a long line of fighters. I will be a survivor!! Wish me lunch…:-)

Oh my gosh, you are a fighter, Nikki! I’m glad to hear that you’ve overcome so much. Makeup can definitely give a self-esteem boost now and then. Feel free to get in touch if you ever need any tips and we’d be happy to help! 🙂
